[XSL-LIST Mailing List Archive Home] [By Thread] [By Date] [Recent Entries] [Reply To This Message] RE: : Escaping '&' in an HTML link.
 Aparna,
Your XSLT stylesheet can invoke the encode method of the
java.net.URLEncoder class.
The encode method would convert "Star&Buck" to "Star%26Bucks".
The method would encode other non-alphanumeric characters
as well. For example, it would also encode "Don't go!" as
"Don%27t+go%21".
For more information about the URLEncoder class, please see:

Hope this helps.

Hello,
Here is my stylesheet (basic structure):
<xsl:stylesheet xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform"
version="1.0">
<xsl:param name="address">index.jsp</xsl:param>
<xsl:output method="html" indent="yes" />
<xsl:template match="AAA">
<html>
<head>
<title>TITLE</title>
</head>
<body >
<form method="POST" name="index" action="{$address}">
Your request: <input type="text" name="query"
size="15"></input>
<input type="submit" name="go" value="GO"></input>
............
<a>
<xsl:attribute name="href">
<xsl:value-of
select="$address"/>?query=Edit+name+<xsl:value-of
select="translate(normalize-space(groupName),' ','+')"/>
</xsl:attribute>
<a>
............
</form>
</body >
</html>
</xsl:template>
.......
But this link fails when it encounters a value with "&" in it e.g.
Star&Bucks fails because of the '&' in between.
Is there any to escape the '&' so that the URL is completely and properly
formed?
I tried "disable-output-escaping" but it didnot seem to work.
Thanks in anticipation for any help provided.
